Heat index

April's average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
